EVENING AT PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S COTTAGE (This function has now has a waiting list)

Please join us for a special evening at President Lincoln’s Cottage. During the Civil War, the Lincolns moved their family out of the White House to a cottage overlooking DC. While in residence, Lincoln made nation-changing decisions about the Union, freedom, and the Presidency, most notably developing the Emancipation Proclamation.

Remarks: The Honorable Mark MeadowsChairman, House Freedom Caucus

Please note that this function has reached capacity and now has a waiting list.

Elites in America have failed to understand that there is a crisis in Middle America, both economic and cultural. They’ve pushed political correctness while Americans are looking for solutions for their health care, education, and community challenges.

The Obama Presidency was not good for the Democratic Party. The party not only lost more than 1,000 seats nationwide, it also veered farther to the left. By doubling down on identity politics, it has become even more illiberal and even more hostile to the American way of life. Where will liberalism and the Democratic Party go from here?

Remarks: The Honorable Nikki Haley Permanent U.S. Representative to the United Nations

This function is traditionally exclusive to Heritage Action President’s Club Members. This year we are opening this function to all conference attendees so they may hear from the distinguished speaker.

Please note: This event has reached capacity and registration is now closed.
